PyYAML Legacy Code

The following text was written and maintained by Tim Parkin and hosted by Pollenation Internet. It's grabbed from the old pyyaml.org. Feel free to add or modify the content here if you want to add some historic notes or attributions.

Overview

This is a home for the code developed by various authors (Steve Howell, Clark C Evans, John Pywtorak.
Please correct or add if I'm mistaken. See below for historic notes). The code had no home and seemed
to be forking. As we have used, and intend to continue using, YAML under Python
we felt a warm development environment may help. We'll try to unfork the code (Meld
should make this a less onerous task). It has been asked why we need a pure python version. Our intention
is to provide both a pure python version with an option of using the same API into
Syck. I won't go into the advantages or disadvantages of either method,
but there are individual circumstances where one or the other is essential.
